“A Curious Man” by Neal Thompson – Living as an Oddity
Though I imagine most of us like to limit our societal contributions to paying our taxes and not breaking the law, there are other people who have gone far beyond that, as Robert Ripley did for instance. Those of you who have heard the name probably know him as either a famous cartoonist, or that guy who hosted the “Believe it or Not” shows. However, as Neal Thompson showcases it in his biography of Ripley, titled A Curious Man , the man was more than just an artist… he was a living oddity.
